The second wind rises in Chang'an Chapter 548 Don't inquire about things that shouldn't be inquired
"Grandpa, there is a flying pigeon to pass the book!" Just after Lu Chen arranged the affairs, Fang Qi reported outside the big tent.
"Come in!" Lu Chen replied, Fang Qi directly lifted the curtain and entered the big tent, and after saluting Lu Chen, he took out a bamboo tube from his arms and presented it to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen took the bamboo tube, opened it and took out the note and looked at it, after reading the note, Lu Chen laughed directly.
This time, the flying pigeon biography came from Chang'an, which was sent by Liu Jing, and it was written about the burning of the bookstore and his report to Jingzhao Mansion, as well as the performance of a group of scholars led by Li Anqi.
"This dog baby has understood a lot of the meaning of his father!" As for Liu Jing's handling method, although it was already part of Lu Chen's plan, it still did not fully meet Lu Chen's requirements.
Lu Chen put the note into the sleeve cage, then directly picked up the pen and wrote a note, after drying the ink, rolled it up and put it in the bamboo tube, sealed it with lacquer, and handed it to Fang Qi, "Send it to Liu Jing!" Lu Chen instructed Fang Qi.
"Yes!" Fang Qi took the bamboo tube, solemnly put it in his arms, and after saluting again, he turned around and left the big tent.
"Grandpa, there's a problem with the grain and grass!" Not long after Fang Qi left, Lian Xiude entered the big tent and reported to Lu Chenyu.
"What's wrong with the grain?" After receiving Lian Xiude's report, Lu Chen was slightly stunned, the grain and grass of the Weiwei guard have always been sufficient, as for Xue Wanche to bring the troops here, the grain and grass must also be ready, the so-called "soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first", fighting in the era of cold weapons, on the one hand, it is the number of people, and on the other hand, it is the supply of grain and grass, and now Lian Xiude reported that there is a problem with the grain and grass, which is not a trivial matter.
"Back to Grandpa, the grain and grass from Fenzhou have not yet arrived!" Lian Xiude looked at Lu Chenyu and reported.
"Why haven't you arrived?" Lu Chen looked directly at Lian Xiude and asked.
"I don't know!" Lian Xiude shook his head, "The person sent to investigate hasn't come back yet!" Lian Xiude said again.
"Huh?" Hearing Lian Xiude's words, Lu Chen's eyebrows raised slightly, this is not a good thing, could it be related to the Wang family? Lu Chen thought about it secretly in his heart, but Lu Chen thought about it, it shouldn't be, the grain and grass were transported earlier than he sent a letter to the Wang family, and the Wang family had no reason to stop this batch of grain and grass, but no matter what, I am afraid that this matter is inseparable from those families.
"My father knows about this! How long can the current grain and grass last? Lu Chen looked at Lian Xiude and asked.
"It can support about ten days!" After Lian Xiude thought about it for a while, he said to Lu Chen.
"This matter will be solved by the guild, and the military spirit must not be messed up!" Lu Chen told Lian Xiude a sentence, but Lu Chen was not worried about the side of the guard, mainly worried about the tens of thousands of soldiers brought by Xue Wanche, "Those who dare to disturb the morale of the army, kill!" Lu Chen's word "kill" was said with a chilling feeling.
"Yes!" Lian Xiude naturally knew the truth, and after saluting directly, he turned around and left the big tent.
"It looks like we can't delay!" After Lian Xiude left, Lu Chen muttered to himself, now he is not only looking for the Wang family's affairs, but also finding out the grain and grass.
The reason why Lu Chen mobilized grain and grass from Fenzhou was because Fenzhou was closer to the center of Datang, and Fenzhou was also a major grain center of Datang, after all, it was a place where the famous wine "Fenjiu" was made famous in later generations.
Whether it is Ningzhou or Gyeongju, they are too close to the border, and they are often harassed by the Turks, and there are not many grain and grass reserves in the city, and in addition, Ningzhou was directly transferred by Lu Chen, and it is impossible to have grain and grass to support it in the city, so it is natural to mobilize grain and grass from places with more grain and grass reserves.
The closest city to Xichengguan is naturally Fenzhou, which is close to Taiyuan Prefecture.
Now that the grain and grass in Fenzhou are stuck in the neck, Lu Chen naturally will not take this matter lightly.
Lu Chenzhou cleaned up and down neatly, waved at Feng Huai on the side, and took Feng Huai out of the big tent.
After ordering the five hundred guards, Lu Chen directly turned over and got on his horse, and galloped out of the camp with the five hundred guards.
Along the way, there was no stop, Jin Wu sank, Jade Rabbit rose eastward, Lu Chen took five hundred guards to rest for an hour, turned over his horse again, and went straight to Taiyuan City, Fenzhou grain and grass must pass through Taiyuan City, so the final problem must be solved in Taiyuan City.
To tell the truth, the area where Taiyuan is located now belongs to the jurisdiction of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, after all, Li Yuanji is now the governor of Bingzhou, but this guy has been staying in Chang'an, and this Taiyuan is basically managed by Taiyuan Taishou now.
The current Taiyuan Taishou is a member of the Wang family, named Wang Yu, speaking of which Wang Yu is still Li Yuan's brother-in-law.
Wang Yu married Princess Tong'an, is Li Yuan's sister of the same mother, this Wang Yu is Li Yuan's brother-in-law, but this Wang Yu is also the cousin of the current head of the Wang family, Lu Chen rushed to the outside of Taiyuan City with people wearing stars and moons, at this time the gate of Taiyuan City was closed, Lu Chen could only take people to rest outside the city, and stay until tomorrow Tianming entered the city.
At dawn the next day, the Taiyuan city gate was opened, Lu Chen came straight to the Taiyuan city gate with five hundred guards, and saw someone galloping with such a team of men and horses, and the guards guarding the gate were like facing the enemy, directly with spears obliquely erected, and they were waiting for the battle.
When he came to the city gate, Lu Chen took the white fox and condescendingly inspected the officers and soldiers guarding the city.
"Who's coming? Ann dares to trespass on the city gates?! A pot-bellied lieutenant turned out from behind the city gate, leaned on the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand, and looked Lu Chen up and down, and Lu Chen was also looking at the lieutenant up and down.
"This father-in-law is the county princess, there is something important to enter the city!" Lu Chen looked at the pot-bellied lieutenant general, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, who knows how much oil and water this guy has scooped up to eat like this, so Lu Chen didn't have much politeness in his words, and said directly.
"What's the proof?" The deputy general heard the unkindness in Lu Chen's words, and immediately raised his eyebrows, glared at Lu Chen and replied.
Lu Chen didn't say anything, he directly untied the waist card from his waist and handed it to a back guard on the side, who turned over and dismounted directly, and walked towards the deputy general with the waist card.
The deputy general took the waist card and saw that it was indeed the waist card of the Duke of Chang'an County, and after handing the waist card back to the guard, he looked at Lu Chen again.
"Since you are the Duke of Chang'an County, not in Chang'an County, what are you doing in my Taiyuan City?" The deputy general looked at Lu Chen and continued to ask, it seems that he has no intention of letting Lu Chen enter the city.
"What? Do you have to explain to your lieutenant what I want to do? Lu Chen looked at the lieutenant general, "Guard your city gate!" Inquire less about things you shouldn't ask! Lu Chen shook the reins of his horse as he spoke, and led the people to prepare to enter the city.
